Widget Options – Advanced Conditional Visibility for Gutenberg Blocks & Classic Widgets

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 57% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   Great plugin. Does what it claims to with added CSS controls with the free version. Couldn’t ask for more.

   I went from a free license to a pro one for the features. Upon activation, the plugin threw a license activation error at me because it wouldn’t recognize its active state. Reported it on sunday, support came on monday, issue solved that same morning.Features as advertised. Boom!
